Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

"Okay, I understand." Su Wanqing nodded.

"This thing will have to be sold for a higher price, because foreigners love expensive things." Shen Ruolan winked playfully.

"Okay," Su Wanqing replied with a smile, then carefully examined the scars on Shen Ruolan's face. They had indeed faded considerably; the products from her space were quite effective. It seemed she should be able to secure a large order for her scar-removing essence cream before the Lunar New Year.

"Oh, by the way, when your aunt comes, please pass on a message for me," Su Wanqing said, remembering something important. "My friend has shipped over about a hundred 19-inch color TVs from overseas and wants to sell them. If they want them, we don't need foreign exchange; we can settle in RMB at the normal price."

Shen Ruolan's eyes widened in surprise, her tone filled with disbelief:

"The largest one on the market right now is 17 inches, and you actually have a 19-inch one? That's practically high-tech! And it's from overseas, so you don't even need foreign exchange? I'll tell my aunt right away, and we'll get one for our family too."

She knew that Su Wanqing's friend had the ability to get a lot of rare things from abroad, such as mechanical blueprints and technologies... but she didn't expect that they could even get their hands on such large color TVs, more than a hundred of them. How did they manage to transport them back to China?

You know, importing a foreign television into China nowadays not only costs a lot of foreign exchange but also involves cumbersome approval procedures, and the price is outrageously high, plus it's incredibly scarce domestically. The more Shen Ruolan thought about it, the more she felt that Su Wanqing was remarkable and shrouded in mystery.

After visiting Shen Ruolan, Xiao Wang drove Su Wanqing to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

The corn seeds have all been distributed here. Old Shen, Chen Jianhua, and Grandpa Chen are all away; I heard they've all gone out to plant corn.

Su Wanqing didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, she went to the chicken breeding base to check it out and calculated the breeding time. She figured that they could start large-scale breeding in another month or two.

She went to check on the shiitake mushrooms and white fungus. This batch of shiitake mushrooms and white fungus wouldn't be ready before the Lunar New Year; it would have to wait until after the New Year. She could only hand over the relevant data to the people at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and then leave the rest to them. If they had any questions, they could come and ask her.

This was her last visit to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences before giving birth.

After seeing all of this, it was already midday. Su Wanqing then followed Xiao Wang to the heavy machinery factory in Bincheng without stopping.

Bincheng Heavy Machinery Plant is located in an industrial zone 30 miles east of the city. The plant covers several hundred acres and has several thousand employees. It is a self-contained area surrounded by residential areas, schools, and hospitals, resembling a small town.

Recently, a large order was suddenly placed from above, and the entire factory is working in three shifts to meet the deadline. The workers are full of energy, and the roar of the machines can be heard from far away in the factory area.

On the way, Su Wanqing continued to feed Xiao Wang all sorts of snacks, until Xiao Wang kept burping and said, "Comrade Su, if you keep eating like this, you won't need to eat lunch."

When the car stopped at the factory gate, Su Wanqing saw a long red banner with white characters that read: "Warmly welcome Comrade Su Wanqing to our factory for guidance."

The factory manager, surnamed Liu, was in his fifties with gray hair. He was wearing a faded Zhongshan suit and was already waiting at the gate with a group of factory leaders. Behind them stood dozens of worker representatives, all grinning from ear to ear.

Su Wanqing found it strange; why were these people so happy to see her?

Xiao Wang leaned closer and whispered, "Comrade Su, you have no idea, the workers in this factory are incredibly grateful to you because of the mechanical blueprints you contributed. Normally, blueprints of this caliber wouldn't even be produced by their factory; they would be directly handed over to a factory designated by the central government."

"It's precisely because you live in Bincheng that the higher-ups, considering the convenience of your communication and guidance, have dumped this huge opportunity on them. Tell me, isn't this like a windfall for them? This welcoming reception is so meager! In my opinion, thousands of people from the entire factory should have come out to greet you."

Su Wanqing: "..." Enough, enough. There are so many people, she's already feeling a bit awkward.

As soon as he got out of the car, Factory Director Liu waved his hand, and dozens of workers behind him shouted in unison, "Welcome Honorary Chairwoman Su Wanqing for her guidance!"

The deafening noise drew the attention of passing employees, who stopped to stare. Su Wanqing took a deep breath, trying to make her smile appear natural. She thought to herself, "It seems I can't avoid this today."

They called out five or six times in a row, each person wearing a genuine smile, their enthusiasm perhaps even greater than when seeing their own mother. Su Wanqing quickly waved her hand, "Okay, okay, thank you everyone, thank you everyone."

Factory Director Liu greeted him warmly: "Oh, Chairman Su, you've finally arrived! All the other workers are working overtime in the workshop to meet the deadline, so not everyone can come. This is all the comrades who could spare the time. It's our honor to welcome you to inspect our work. Now, shall we take a tour of the factory and your office? Please come often when you have time; this is your home."

Although Su Wanqing is only an honorary chairman on a part, Director Liu is a proper factory director, but he keeps a very humble attitude.

Even if the higher-ups gave Su Wanqing a separate 5% share, he wouldn't feel any dissatisfaction—it was precisely because this Comrade Su directly contributed that set of crucial blueprints to the country that their factory had the opportunity to produce these high-precision equipment.

Otherwise, such a great opportunity would never have come their way. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Su Wanqing is the bread and butter of their entire factory of thousands.

Su Wanqing quickly replied politely, "You're too kind, you're too kind."

Factory Director Liu, beaming with joy, led Su Wanqing inside, followed by a number of curious and excited employees, their whispers rising and falling.

"So this is Su Wanqing, the amazing person who contributed the mechanical blueprints? She's so young!"

"You're right! She looks so young and beautiful. I thought she was an old lady."

"Don't talk nonsense. He's the chairman of our factory now, the most powerful person there!"

"Alright, alright, I just wanted to express my gratitude. Tell me, if it weren't for this comrade contributing the blueprints, our factory wouldn't be able to get our hands on the world's most advanced machine tool manufacturing! And these new machine blueprints are the first of their kind in the country; even foreigners are envious."

"Isn't that right? Although we ordinary people are more tired, our salaries have doubled, which I can't even imagine! It's just that we have to sign a confidentiality agreement and can't go home for a year."

"What's this? The factory is going to expand its workforce, hiring several times more people. The screening process is so strict now that they check three generations of your family. We're lucky we got in a few years ago, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get in now. People outside are going crazy with envy when they find out we can earn fifty or sixty yuan a month at this factory."

The whispering crowd stared at Su Wanqing with eyes that looked at her like she was a god of wealth, completely enamored with her.
